River disappears overnight after loud detonation noise is heard

Yesterday there was a News story on my ISP Front Page about a River that expanded rapidly taking over nearby towns. I only read the title and not the story - so I don't know where that was. Maybe the water went there(?)

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – It's been called a slow-growing monster: a huge lake that has steadily expanded over the last 20 years, swallowing up thousands of acres, hundreds of buildings and at least two towns in its rising waters.

Devils Lake keeps getting larger because it has no natural river or stream to carry away excess rain and snowmelt. Now it has climbed within 6 feet of overflowing, raising fears that some downstream communities could be washed away if the water level isn't reduced.

According to the Slovene news, 2km of a normal river has gone. The river used to be 31km long. Now there is a 2km gap in the middle of it. Don't forget this wouldn't make headlines on the country's main news channel if it was just a small creek that has drained after a flood. This is 2km of a normal river, that is normally flowing like the rest of the river, that has completely disappeared. It's a real mystery.

OP, what do you mean 2km of that river disappeared? Was it a 2km branch/tributary of that river shown at the end, or was it a small creek usually overflowing when it rains? Because rivers are longer than just 2km. And they can't just disappear unless the flow from their source is blocked (dam) or their source drys up.

Maybe a DUMB has an underground sealed aquifer that they have just filled up.

Any other strange bangs or explosive rumblings in the past?.

ya you have to look at the underground bases because they are there and thats were the water went.they can when building these bases know were rivers are and build acorrdingly ,like chambers to catch water or man made river structrue right underneath the river so when the time comes blast a hole and catch the river and everything in it ,then all you have to do is recycle the water and you have yourself a underground river.

"On Tuesday night the river Iska vanished between the villages of Iska Vas and Strahomer."... (Now here comes the official explanation)... "Slovene Environment Agency statement says that the water is flowing into the underground chamber underneath the water bed. This is the way the river disappears and reappers later down stream.This time this characteristic of the river is stronger because of the damages to the river bed."

The explosion certainly is a clue. Something that reacts violently with water hit that river and evaporated it. I am thinking of something akin to anti-matter but which affects only water since, the fish and everything else were left untouched.

it drained down the hole .nothing evaporated

Yeah... I would think if a sinkhole opened or an existing cavern unclogged (due to the recent flooding), you would hear some kind of noise, and there wouldn't be a tremor.

Hell, I remember being on a farm in Idaho when I was little and one of the irrigation channels collapsed. It sounded like a small explosion.

Hell, I don't know... we can go with underground lava lizards if you want...

Well it seems so real I can see itAnd it seems so real I can feel itAnd it seems so real I can taste itAnd it seems so real I can hear itSo why can't I touch it?So why can't I touch it?

LOL! I'm not sure the 'peasants' were fishing in such a way. However, not sure if such a dynamite explosion would cause a tremor on a seismograph? Evidently, although residents only heard the huge bang and did not feel a tremor, seismographs did detect a tremor. So perhaps it is possible it is tectonic, even though it is not located on or near any major fault lines.

This type of stuff does happen, not everyday, but enough to know its just how it is. The booming sound is interesting.

I could understand the half of what they were saying in video and everyone agrees there was sound of detonation but no shake at all.

It could be the peasants were fish hunting with dynamite and opened the crack in the river bed.

It is interesting that, although residents only heard the huge explosion noise and did not feel any tremors, that seismographs did detect a tremor. So what do you think? Is it possible that this phenomena is tectonic related, even though it is not located on or near any major fault lines? Or, could some artificial means cause the tremor that showed on the seismograph?

Yeah me too, The picture with the greenery in the sand could be old flooded area. That's what it looks like when it a stream or seasonal river floods around this section of the world. The other pictures show trees just too darn near the gravel with no depth of anything flowing by them.
